Stone Age spatula, Magdalenian culture. This carved prehistoric object is thought to be a spatula, though the attribution is uncertain. This specimen was found in the Raymonden cave, in the Dordogne region of France. It dates from the time of the Magdalenian culture, known for their carved bone, antler and ivory artefacts. The Magdalenian people, a culture of early modern humans, lived in western Europe from 15,000 to 7000 years ago, during the Upper Paleolithic period.
